Angel Falls is the tallest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. With a height of 979 metres (3,211 ft) and a drop of 807 metres (2,648 ft), this is the highest or tallest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. For comparison, Niagara Falls is 165 feet (50 metres).

Angel Falls (Kerepakupai Merú) in Venezuela is special primarily because it holds the undisputed title of the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a staggering height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a single plunge of 807 meters. To put that in perspective, it is roughly 15 times taller than Niagara Falls. Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Canaima National Park, its setting is equally extraordinary; the water falls from the edge of the Auyán-tepui, a massive "table-top" mountain that rises abruptly from the jungle floor. Because it is so remote—accessible only by plane and then a long boat trip up-river—it has remained largely pristine and free from mass commercialization. The waterfall is also unique because during the dry season, the water can actually evaporate or turn into a fine mist before it even reaches the ground due to the immense height. It is a symbol of the raw, untouched power of the South American wilderness and serves as a vital cultural landmark for the indigenous Pemon people, who have revered the falls and the surrounding tepuis as sacred sites for centuries.
